The “Dogpper” is available for free, but exclusively through DoorDash, and customers must order a Whopper sandwich to get the dog treat. The offer is not available to carry-out or dine-in customers, the fast-food chain’s officials said.

In a release, Burger King said it “knows that dog owners often deal with their furry friend begging for food when they order delivery. Many dog owners have even admitted to sharing part of their meal with them.”

This news outlet checked with a spokesman for the Illinois-based franchise group that operates Burger King restaurants in the Dayton area, and he confirmed that local Burger King stores are, indeed, participating in the Dogpper promotion.
